Re: girls in PE
Posted by Courtney King on 5/01/06
I would have to agree that girls can and should play football. I
used to want to play in high school but limited myself to PE
class. Now, I play football for a local women's professional
team. Girl's should know that they are equal to boys no matter
the sport. More and more of the sports are presenting
opportunities for girls to advance and excell in. That other teacher does seem as if he is not up with the current
times. Things change. On 4/14/06, stephenpe wrote:
